Chapter 14
âHey, wait,â I say when weâre halfway to the compound. âThat convenience store to the left, pull in there.â
âSure, whatâs up?â
âI remember Abel talking about this place. Itâs where he got his phone. He said sometimes on the way back from the construction site they would stop here, at Handyâs Pit Stop. Maybe Handy knows where they went.â
He nods. âYes, letâs go in and ask. They might know something.â
Inside the gas station, I optimistically take out my phone, pulling up a photograph of Abel. I hold my phone in my hand, scared to speak, but when the man behind the register asks how he can help, I tell him the truth.
âIâm looking for my son; his nameâs Abel. Heâs almost sixteen. He lives down at the compound thatâs not too far from here. They have a construction crew, Garden Construction,â I say with a lift in my voice. âAnyway, I know that they stop here sometimes after work, and I thought maybe you might recognize him. Heâs missing.â
The man frowns. âDo you have a picture?â
âYes,â I say. âYes, of course.â I turn my phone to face him. âI know heâs been in here. He bought some flip phones from you and . . .â
âI know that kid, yeah. Heâd come in here sometimes, buy chips and soda. He got some phones. Heâs your boy?â
I nod. âYes, Abel Priest.â
The man runs a hand over his jaw. âThey usually come in early in the morning like this, or right before dinner. They stop here, get gas, pick up a few things. Kind of quiet group of men.â
âYes, that is probably right. They kept to themselves.â
âI hear them talk sometimes. Theyâve been working over on Pack Mile Road. I thought it was a construction site, but my buddy Eric, he was up there hunting a few weeks ago, and he said thereâs this whole maze of containers underground. Looked like they were building an underground bunker.â
My voice falters, âUnderground?â
âYeah, itâs kind of crazy, right? Anyway, Iâve never been out there myself, but you want me to give my buddy a call?â
âPack Mile Road near here?â Boone asks.
âYeah, only about twenty minutes east. They have some real nice trails out there. My friend got himself a five-point buck, if you believe it.â
âOh, I believe it,â Boone says warmly, somehow fitting in with this man. âWell, thatâs good to know. Maybe theyâre out there now.â
âMaybe,â the guy says, âbut I havenât seen them this morning. I havenât actually seen them the last few days, which is kind of weird. Sometimes they stop and get beer and shit, and I always think, âMan, itâs early in the morning to be drinking a sixteen ouncer.ââ
Boone chuckles. âYeah, they must be working hard if theyâre building a bunker.â
âExactly,â the guy says. âAnyway, sorry I donât know any more. But they werenât, like, mean guys; they just kind of seemed serious. And your kid,â he says, pointing back to my phone, âhe never wanted anyone to see what he was buying.
